  • Bach, Reiche, and the Leipzig Collegia Musica
    SMITHERS BACH, REICHE AND THE LEIPZIG COLLEGIA MUSICA Don L. Smithers, D. Phil. (Oxon.) To the memory of Arthur Mendel: Teacher, Colleague, Friend. Kannst du nicht allen gefallen durch deine That und deine Kunshverk, Mach' es wenigen recht, vielen gefallen ist schlimm. Johann Christoph Friedrich Schiller hat are the music-historical relationships between the composer, the per- former and the venues of their operations? To what extent has the work of composers depended upon individual performers and/or performing en- wsembles and the places with which they were associated? In the writing of music history how much attention should be paid to particular places and performers as opposed to specific "schools" of composition and individual composers? Most music history books are strangely silent about these matters. The intertwined, indeed, inseparable historical relationships between places,performers and composers are frequently slighted in favor of the usual biographical sketches of composers, tabulations of their works, and sometimes less than historical, if relevant, discussions of musical forms, harmony and so-called styles. Music historiography, like historical writing in general, should depend, as Collingwood suggested, on the "re-enactment of past experiences in the mind of the present thinker," experiences that are "objective" or known to the historian "only because they are also subjective, or activities of his own."' Musical history is not something apart from history itself, from the historical knowledge of a given time, place and society responsible for musical works and their performance. Which brings us to the subject of the present essay. To better understand the music of a composer like Bach, his approach to orchestration and employment of specific instruments, it is useful to have a better perception of the circumstances of his musical performances and the careers of those to whom wereentrusted the onerous taskofreproducing his ideas.

    “Common ground “for musicians “and ministers, “for scholars PRISM “and practitioners.” YALE INSTITUTE OF SACRED MUSIC L ATE O CTOBER 2003 VOLUME X I I N UMBER 2 YALE U NIVERSITY Introducing the Yale Schola Cantorum Simon Carrington bout two years ago I received a letter informing me A that the Institute of Sacred Music at Yale University wished to establish a new chamber choir specializing in music before 1750 and from the last hundred years, and asking for suggestions for names of a possible director of such a choir. I obediently scratched around in my rolodex for people to recommend with only modest success for all sorts of rea- sons, but then found myself wondering if I should try and slip my own foot in through that particular door! I had only just taken up a new position at the New England Conservatory in Boston where I was hard at work trying to re-establish the choral program. Much as I was enjoying this new challenge Simon Carrington(left); Marguerite L. Brooks (right) (and life in Boston), the idea of a new choir at Yale (and the full professorship that went along with it) was hard to resist. The members of the proposed new choir were to receive a 2003-2004 Camerata Season stipend, somewhat on the lines of the choral scholars at my Marguerite L. Brooks alma mater, King’s College Chapel, Cambridge (England!), and the new choir would have the full support of the Institute, he 2003-2004 season for the Yale Camerata promises which was keen to encourage recordings and tours.

  • Georg Philipp Telemann His Autobiography This Is the Entry From
    1 Georg Philipp Telemann Georg Philipp Telemann after an engraving by Georg Lichtensteger His Autobiography © Translation by Thomas Braatz, 2009 This is the entry from Mattheson’s Ehren-Pforte, Hamburg, 1740: Here Georg Philipp Telemann speaks directly to us and tells us with choice words in his own clever and easy-to-read writing style about the wondrous coincidental events in his life, particularly in regard to musical matters: “I was born in Magdeburg on March 14, 1681 and was baptized on the following 17th in the Evangelical-Lutheran confession. My father, Henricus [Heinrich], was a preacher there at the Church of the Holy Spirit [die Kirche zum Heiligen Geist] and died January 17, 1685 when he was barely 39 years old. I was almost 4 years old at the time. My mother, Maria, was also descended from a pastor, Johann Haltmeyer from Altendorf. She died in 1710. In the elementary schools I learned the usual things: reading, writing, catechism and some Latin; but then I eventually took up playing on my own the violin, flute and zither and entertained my friends with this music without even knowing anything 2 about notes on a page. When I was ten, I began attending the Gymnasium1 where I received a higher level of instruction from the cantor, Mr. Benedicto Christiani, all the way to the highest level classes taught by the rector, Anton Werner Cuno, and finally also by Mr. N. Müller, the rector at the Cathedral [Dom] Gymnasium. The latter was responsible for instilling in me my love for German poetry and literature.

  • On the Banks of the Raritan Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick
    On the Banks of the Raritan Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick October 9, 2013 - January 31, 2014 Special Collections and University Archives Galleries On the Banks of the Raritan: Music at Rutgers and New Brunswick This exhibition was inspired by the desire to celebrate the life and work of the pioneering composer and beloved Rutgers faculty member, Robert Moevs (1920–2007). Dr. Moevs donated a large collection of correspondence, musical scores, recordings, photographs and ephemera to the Music and Performing Arts Library in 1998, and arrangement and description of the collection was completed in 2010. After several false starts, the “Moevs” exhibition developed into an overview of music at Rutgers and in the city of New Brunswick, from about 1850 to the 1980s. The overarching theme of the exhibition is music in town and gown and how the two are tied to together both physically and metaphorically by the Raritan River. Fittingly, one of the earliest pieces of sheet music in the exhibition is Otto F. Jacobsen’s Souvenir de Raritan (1846). And of course, in 1873, “On the Banks of the Old Raritan,” the song that would become the Rutgers University alma mater, was written by Howard N. Fuller. This exhibition features Robert Moevs as well as many other Rutgers faculty members, student musicians, and musical groups. The Special Collections and University Archives Gallery focuses on how a thriving musical scene developed in the small river and railroad city of New Brunswick in the late nineteenth century. Gallery '50 on the first floor traces the early history of music at Rutgers University—notably the foundation of the Glee Club, one of the oldest and most prominent collegiate groups in the country—to the incorporation of music into Rutgers' educational mission in the early twentieth century, and the eventual shift from city venues and local performers to university spaces and student and faculty musicians.
